THE TOOLBOX
In every training class or school I've ever been to, the instructor would invariably say, "This is just one more tool for your toolbox." I thought the idea could be equally applied to the craft of writing. This page catalogs, in no discernible order, books, articles, tips, tricks, and other resources I've come across in my writing journey. "Writers help writers" is more than an empty slogan. Some really great people have offered me guidance along the way. I would be nowhere without their kindness, keen insights, and support. This is one method by which I'm paying that forward. If you're new to writing or maybe just want to be a better writer (we should all be striving to be better writers), check out the tools in the toolbox. Maybe you'll find something of value here.
